eMOLT Update 2023-08-11 This week is a busy one for the eMOLT team. George put in almost 1000 miles of driving to install eMOLT systems along the coast of Maine with Andrew, Chris, Ryan, and Tessa from the Maine Lobster Institute.
How many scientists does it take to install an eMOLT system? Sometimes that depends on how many other electronics are already installed in the wheelhouse Erin also got out into the field helping to deploy some dissolved oxygen loggers and working with Huanxin to upgrade the deckbox on the F/V Lina Rose. On the modeling side, we also got a notification from Qichun Xu at the Univeristy of Massachusetts School for Marine Science and Technology that the NECOFS group has begun to incorporate realtime eMOLT data into their forecast model! The plot below shows the first eMOLT points that were assimilated on 2023-08-08
AcknowledgementsThank you to captains Dustin, Sam, Dominic, Jim, and Jamien who graciously made time for us to work on their boats this week. Welcome aboard! We appreciate your willingness to participate in the program. Thanks also to the Chen lab at SMAST for their efforts to incorporate eMOLT data into the NECOFS forecasts. It’s all well and good to collect the data, but it’s really great to see it being used! ForecastsNECOFS Bottom Temperature Forecast
